Strange error.

    Hi.


    I was finished working on the projectm closed it, because I needed to check a hight in another project. When I wanted to open that other project, the computer froze as it does from time to time, but not very often. Ok, I turned it off and on again - and then this error appeared, when I try to open the project I was working on. I have never seen this kind of error before. It doesn't appear with any other projects and the files in Dietrichs looks pretty much ok (I mean they doesn't seem to be deleted for example).

    That is a strange message. I did not see that before.
    I would make a copy of the content of the whole directory and try with this copy. In this copy I would delete the file with the extension PV1. Then I would start the program and select the project. Now click on 'Project' and then function 'reorganize' (or something like that, I do not have a version 7 now).

    Ok, I can try that. If it fails, I have today almost recovered most of the project. Because I had building library files of the positions (modules in the house) - so these positions was pretty easy to recover, by deleting the project (after copy the whole directory to another place), making new project and copying the .zbi files and use them to insert in positions. But the position where the house was assembled (40 apartments) is of course slightly more to recover. So I can make a backup copy of the project I have now and try your method to see of the whole projects recovers. If not, then it doesn't take long time to put the modules together to create the house to the status it where, when it crashed.

    Well - it almost worked, but only almost. The positions with the single modules was recovered (but the position info was deleted). The 7th position, where the modules was assembled to the house, was damaged it seemed. When I try to open that position I get the message "Program version too old. The building cannot be opened." But the other positions, I can open.


    I think I will go back to the project as I recovered it before, and just start over at assembling the house.

    The position info did get lost because this info is stored in the PV1 file. I should have told you that before but loosing this info should not be a problem if you get the positions back.
    The most important is that you have got a solution which is ok for you.


    By the way: Since version 8 you are able to open a another position without closing the one you are working on.

    Yeah - I'd like to get the newest version of Dietrichs. The feature of being able to open other positions even other projects in other windows, could be quite useful sometimes + a lot of other things I know have come in newer versions. But the financial situation is still not the best - but the main problem is that the longer we wait the more expensive it gets to upgrade to the newest version from version 7. Upgrading from version 7 to version 10, that soon comes would cost 75% of the most expensive of our licenses (mine...) - if I am not mistaken. :roll:
